Robert Fletcher started ‘A Spire Right’ in March 2017, Robert was referred to us by Chesterfield Job Centre. At this time, Robert wanted to gain structure and routine to his life, he wanted to get physically fitter.

Since attending ‘A Spire Right’, Robert has gained confidence, self-belief and motivation to apply for jobs. Just recently, Robert started as a steward at Chesterfield Football Club.

Robert said, “The programme gave me the opportunity to learn new skills and exercises that I can do at home and incorporate into my everyday life.”

Robert completed two cohorts equalling to 16 weeks and within this time, he participated in a variety of different exercises including boxing and using the gym that is based at the stadium.
